Iranian Oxidized Bitumen – A Premium Choice for Global Industries
What Is Oxidized Bitumen?
Oxidized bitumen, also known as blown bitumen, is a semi-solid form of bitumen that has been processed by blowing air through penetration-grade bitumen at a controlled temperature. This oxidation process increases the bitumen’s softening point and reduces its penetration value, resulting in a material with higher stability and better performance under heat and pressure.
Due to its elasticity, waterproofing ability, and long-term durability, oxidized bitumen is widely used in construction, insulation, and industrial manufacturing worldwide.
Why Iranian Oxidized Bitumen Stands Out
Iran is one of the largest producers and exporters of bitumen in the world. Thanks to its rich crude oil resources and advanced refining technologies, Iranian oxidized bitumen is known for its high purity, consistent quality, and competitive pricing.
Faragam Bitumen, as a professional exporter of oxidized bitumen from Iran, ensures that every batch meets international standards such as ASTM and EN. Our products are available in various grades including bitumen 85/25, 90/15, 115/15, and others, suitable for different climatic and industrial conditions.
Production Process of Oxidized Bitumen in Iran
The oxidation process starts with high-quality vacuum bottom feedstock. In specialized reactors, air is blown through the heated bitumen at temperatures between 230–290°C. This controlled reaction modifies the chemical structure, enhancing its physical characteristics such as viscosity, softening point, and elasticity.
The result is a stable, long-lasting bitumen ideal for waterproofing and industrial applications.
Iranian producers like Faragam Bitumen use modern facilities to ensure uniform product quality and efficient packaging — including kraft bags, drums, and customized packaging based on client requests. Continuous quality control and laboratory testing guarantee that the product maintains superior performance even in challenging environments.
Applications of Oxidized Bitumen
Oxidized bitumen has a wide range of applications due to its thermal resistance and adhesive strength.
Some of the key uses include:
- Waterproofing membranes for roofs and foundations
- Pipe coating and corrosion protection
- Asphalt additives for road construction
- Electrical insulation compounds
- Soundproofing and industrial flooring materials
Its versatility makes it a preferred choice for contractors, manufacturers, and engineers around the world. The combination of high stability, elasticity, and resistance to temperature variations ensures that oxidized bitumen performs reliably in both hot and cold climates.
Export Advantages of Iranian Oxidized Bitumen
Iran’s geographical position allows easy access to global markets through Persian Gulf ports. Combined with efficient logistics and high production capacity, Iranian oxidized bitumen reaches customers across Asia, Africa, and Europe quickly and cost-effectively.
Faragam Bitumen provides flexible packaging, private labeling, and reliable shipment schedules — making it a trusted supplier for international buyers seeking long-term partnerships. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction, the company continuously develops its export network to meet the growing global demand for high-performance oxidized bitumen.
Faragam Bitumen – Committed to Quality and Global Trust
At Faragam Bitumen, quality assurance and technical precision define every stage of production and export. The company’s mission is to deliver Iranian oxidized bitumen that consistently meets international expectations in performance and reliability.
By combining advanced production technologies with customer-oriented service, Faragam Bitumen continues to build strong relationships with global industries that rely on oxidized bitumen for their essential operations.
The Competitive Advantage of Iranian Oxidized Bitumen
One of the major strengths of Iranian oxidized bitumen lies in its balance between quality and affordability. While maintaining world-class standards, Iranian producers are able to offer highly competitive prices due to the country’s access to abundant raw materials and efficient refining infrastructure. Moreover, the flexibility in production grades and packaging solutions allows international clients to receive products tailored to their specific applications.
This combination of premium quality, cost-effectiveness, and customization has positioned Iran as one of the most reliable and dynamic suppliers in the global oxidized bitumen market.
